«THERE SHOULD BE COURSE IN FIRST GRADE ON LOVE»

A worldwide study of sexual preferences revealed that females feel more secure if they have a mate in reserve. It seems you have the best of both worlds. The older male is established and able to offer you security and thus provide for any children you may have with him, but you should be aware that male fertility and the condition of sperm decline with age. The younger male, on the other hand, is likely to have a higher sperm count. He excites you more sexually, but as yet he cannot provide for you or your future children. However, the "sexy son hypothesis" states that sons born of sexy strangers will mature to become sexy men themselves, thus providing granny with plenty of grandchildren. Some Darwinists might say your optimal strategy would be to pair-bond with the older male but surreptitiously allow the younger, sexy male to fertilise you. But be careful, most men consider being cuckolded the greatest of betrayals.

Good luck
